CRIT RateCRIT DMG

Xingqiu is a Hydro sub-DPS whose Burst provides consistent off-field Hydro application. Prioritize Energy Recharge until requirements are met, then CRIT Rate and ATK%.
Pair with Hu Tao for reliable Vaporize reactions. Sacrificial Sword is his best-in-slot weapon. Use 4-piece Emblem of Severed Fate farmed at Momiji-Dyed Court on Pyro days.

DPS
Best at C2 but functional without. Her damage as DPS is subpar versus many alternatives.

NUKE
Skill taunts and applies Hydro. Burst immobilizes small enemies if within 20 levels, then deals massive damage and applies Omen.
Artifact Sets:
Instructor (4): Niche set for certain Hu Tao nuke teams.
See Nuke Mona Ability Tip for Vaporize setup.

BURST SUPPORT
Uses Burst for Omen debuff to boost team damage. Common in Freeze teams; debuff extends via freeze. Apply Cryo before Burst. Maintain Cryo and Hydro auras e.g., using Venti infused Burst plus on-field aura.
Weapon Choices:
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers: Best if Energy Recharge ensures 100% Burst uptime; otherwise, use Energy Recharge weapons.
A Thousand Floating Dreams: Only if team needs Elemental Mastery and doesn't benefit heavily from ATK%. Competes with Thrilling Tales.
Artifact Sets:
Tenacity of the Millelith (4) / Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4): Use when another character has Noblesse Oblige (4).
